CNN-- Suspense builds as authorities try to identify remains of a woman found four days ago on a remote hill near Ammon, Idaho.While police reportedly say the body is not likely that of Susan Powell, 28, a stockbroker who vanished in December, they have not ruled it out.
According to police, a wind turbine repairman found the skeletal remains just hours from Powell’s home in Utah.
If the remains are not Powell’s the mystery becomes even more intense, because they would belong to someone else who may have been the victim of foul play.
More than two years ago, a woman from Idaho Falls, Stephanie Eldredge, vanished, and police are exploring the possibility it could be her.
Twenty-one-year-old Eldredge is a mother of three.
Investigators are also working around the clock to determine if the remains could belong to 20-year-old Amber Hoopes of Idaho Falls, Idaho. She was last seen at her grandparents’ home, wishing them a good night.
An autopsy on the body was reportedly finished today and now the DNA test results are eagerly awaited but could take several weeks.
Powell has been missing since last December, when she failed to show up for work at Wells Fargo Financial.
Her husband, Josh Powell, aroused suspicion and widespread media scrutiny with his alibi: he was camping with their two young children.
He was named a person of interest, and he recently moved to the state of Washington.
